function toCamelCase(str) { | |
return str.toLowerCase().replace(/(?:(^.)|(\s+.))/g, function(match) { | |
return match.charAt(match.length-1).toUpperCase(); | |
}); | |
} |
This is Pascal Case (PascalCase), not Camel Case (camelCase). In other words, camel case is when the first letter is lower case.
function toCamelCase(string) {
string = string.toLowerCase().replace(/(?:(^.)|([-_\s]+.))/g, function(match) {
return match.charAt(match.length-1).toUpperCase();
});
return string.charAt(0).toLowerCase() + string.substring(1);
}
Small changes to the above to allow for kebab and snake case input, as well as proper camelCase rather than PascalCase as @mcarlucci pointed out.

Note this JS doesn't appear to work (at least not to covert snake or kebab case to camel case. Appears to want to convert a space delimited string.
For those wanting snake case to camel case, go here: https://gist.github.com/assembledadam/80c97eb03fdc35e1e92ae38537a02ac0
